Has anyone shot better groups (i.e. sub 0.65") with 150 gr. rounds? If so, what type?



Welcome to the Campfire! That may be true of your rifle but has not been true of mine;but thanks for the general advise,and example of one...especially from a brand new tube.....pretty hard to predict the behaviour of an entire model line based on one sample,dontcha think? smile
